The 'BAMA book

 Romans 2:5-6

King James Version

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart 

treasurest up unto thyself 

wrath against the day of wrath 

and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who will render to every man 

according to his deeds:

I don't know how I could have missed that book.

I mean, I saw it the other day, and actually already held it in my hands.

Except when I got home, I discovered I had not purchased it.

Thinking to myself, maybe it wasn't an important book.

Maybe GOD didn't want me to read it,

Well, I slept and thought no more about it that night.

But yesterday morning, it continued to hound me.

I wanted to know how Obama had harmed America.

I decided to go back to the shop.

If the book was still there, and I found it easily, it was mine.

And SPIRIT may want me to read it.

All correct on THREE counts:

The book was still there.

I found it easily.

SPIRIT wanted me to read it.

And now, I understand why.

The information I was to find was beyond just Obama's war against religion.

He kept the Bible out of America's schools, her military, and even out of the latter's hospitals.

He was pro-choice, too.

He was also promoting LGBTQ, as well as exporting the idea to other countries as his foreign policy with Hillary Clinton when she was his secretary of state.

To the great outrage of many religious right, Christian families, and conservatives, of course.

But Trump is now president, and by the GRACE of GOD, he immediately righted the wrongs there.

Getting the book was the right choice.

It's a rare thing now, for me to read other books than the Bible.

But this book I simply had to get, and read.

I had to know how America got all wrong.

SPIRIT was leading me to something important.

Upon reaching pages 62-63, I read the following:

"Obama was trained by Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation...Moving from community organizer to state level politician, Obama eventually put together a Chicago-style that used Alinskyite methods to defeat decisively the Clinton machine..."

Now, this is where it got really interesting:

"The Industrial Areas Foundation was founded on the South Side of Chicago in 1940. It nestled under the protective wing of the Democratic political machine, but Alinsky's reach eventually extended all over the country from New York to California."

-- Phyllis Schlafly and George Neumayr

"No Higher Power: Obama's War on Religious Freedom"

I stopped reading after that.

It definitely answered something SPIRIT and I wrote, back in 10 January 2025.

It explained the "3 mismanaged STATES" of California, New York, and Illinois.

And how they continue to defy Trump.

Now, the 'Bama book confirms it, and why.

And if you know nothing about Alinsky, that's okay.

I never heard of him before because I was never into politics.

But GOD led me to Trump's win, and presidency.

It was startling how the Dems hated him.

And now I know, starting with Obama.

And the influence Alinsky had on him, and on Illinois, New York, and California.

The three states in particular danger from GOD's wrath.

Saul Alinsky had written a book called, "Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals".

In their "No Higher Power" book, Schlafly and Neumayr noted this very telling part regarding Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" dedication page.

Pay attention to who Alinsky's book is dedicated to.

Now you realize the REAL influence over Alinsky, Obama, and the 3 states, and spreading throughout America, and the world.

Now you know we are truly in a spiritual battle.

No wonder GOD made Trump win.

Dr. David R. Reagan was right -- America was "ripe for judgment".

By no means is president Trump perfect, but at least, his heart is in the right place.

By no means are his policies perfect, but at least, he acknowledges GOD's hand in saving his life.

And yes, his policies are "Biblical".

With Obama and troupe, America nearly perished.

Now, Trump has to undo 16 years of Dem damage.

May the governors of Illinois, New York, and California have a change of heart, and support their president.

But that can only happen if GOD makes them born again.

Only then can the HOLY SPIRIT teach them GOD's will, and ways.

Only then can they pattern their leadership after JESUS.

PEACE can only come through JESUS.

Enough of personal ambition.

Matthew 16:26

King James Version

26 For what is a man profited, 

if he shall gain the whole world, 

and lose his own soul? 

or what shall a man give 

in exchange for his soul?

What churches MISS

 

Romans 1:11-12

King James Version

11 For I long to see you, 

that I may impart unto you 

some spiritual gift, 

to the end ye may be established;

12 That is, that I may be comforted 

together with you 

by the mutual faith 

both of you and me.

Many churches are "off".

They teach different doctrines.

Not of Christ.

Not like Christ.

Not as Christ.

Not by Christ.

Not for Christ.

That's a true danger in these most challenging times.

They don't talk about sin.

They talk about self.

They don't talk about the Rapture.

They talk about false revivals.

They don't talk about repentance.

They talk about reinventing.

They've taken GOD out of His church.

They've put self in His church.

Worse, they've unknowingly invited Satan in.

From CHRIST, to compromise, and chaos.

They've replaced the Bible with entertainment.

As if GOD's WORD doesn't suffice.

As if hip stuff would bring in the people.

And it does, but not the people GOD wants.

"The elect never truly fit in with the crowd."

-- Voddie Baucham

The Real Reason God’s Elect 

Don’t Fit In Church Anymore

Many souls are in danger of perishing.

All because they want the easy way.

The non-accountable way.

The popular way.

The trend-setting way.

The new normal way.

Such are modern churches today.

They have creativity, but not CHRIST.

They have entertainment, but not edification.

They have fun, but not fear of GOD.

They think they are "cool", but in fact, they are "cold".

How can churches like that bring your soul to JESUS?

How can they bring you to salvation?

They are sure paths to destruction.

Count me out of such a church.

Truth be told, I haven't found one yet.

One that is totally centered on CHRIST.

One that doesn't need decor, strobes, and bands.

One that doesn't need to entertain, to gather people.

One that doesn't blatantly raise funds, for pastor "projects".

Remember what JESUS warned, regarding the 7 churches.

I look to how JESUS taught.

In all truth, power, and simplicity.

Matthew 7:28-29

King James Version

28 And it came to pass, 

when Jesus had ended these sayings, 

the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, 

and not as the scribes.

JESUS never made a show of it.

He never called attention to self.

He called attention to GOD.

That we glorify GOD alone.

John 17:3

King James Version

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

He especially called us to repent.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

And to sin no more.

John 8:9-11

King James Version

9 And they which heard it, 

being convicted by their own conscience, 

went out one by one, 

beginning at the eldest, 

even unto the last: 

and Jesus was left alone, 

and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, 

and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, 

Woman, where are those thine accusers? 

hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. 

And Jesus said unto her, 

Neither do I condemn thee: 

go, and sin no more.

Satan is quick to distance you from the CROSS, the RESURRECTION, and from the BLOOD of the LAMB.

But those are the things that saved us from sin.

These are the parts that Satan wants out of CHRIST's churches -- the VERY gospel of JESUS CHRIST:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

King James Version

15 Moreover, brethren, 

I declare unto you the gospel 

which I preached unto you, 

which also ye have received, 

and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, 

if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, 

unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

CHRIST's enemy has infiltrated churches.

And they've succumbed.

But there is an elect.

And we can't be fooled.

If we stay true to CHRIST.

And if we remain in His WORD.

In all its glorious truth, holiness, and simplicity.

Acts 2:44-47

King James Version

44 And all that believed were together, 

and had all things common;

45 And sold their possessions and goods, 

and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

46 And they, continuing daily 

with one accord in the temple, 

and breaking bread from house to house, 

did eat their meat with gladness 

and singleness of heart,

47 Praising God, 

and having favour with all the people. 

And the Lord added to the church daily 

such as should be saved.

Lastly, I urge you to listen, and savor this fact-filled, 31-minute video.

Don't look at the supporting images.

Just close your eyes, and listen closely.

It reveals to you the state of churches today.

This is probably the BEST video on it, and I thank the HOLY SPIRIT for leading me to it today.

I take great responsibility, as born again watchman, to deliver truth-filled material to you each day.

All through GOD's GRACE, as always.

And in JESUS' Name -- Amen.

Why we NEED the HOLY SPIRIT more than EVER

 

JESUS said:

John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

We probably live in the most dangerous times.

Where curiosity has taken over discernment.

Where technology tries to replace the real JESUS of the Bible.

Where people can so easily be deceived, thinking artificial intelligence has the answer to their questions.

Remember how sin, and hardships, started?

In the beginning, GOD commanded:

Genesis 2:16-17

King James Version

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, 

Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 

thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day 

that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Did man follow?

Genesis 3:1-5

King James Version

3 Now the serpent was more subtil 

than any beast of the field 

which the Lord God had made. 

And he said unto the woman, 

Yea, hath God said, 

Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, 

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree 

which is in the midst of the garden, 

God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, 

neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, 

Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, 

then your eyes shall be opened, 

and ye shall be as gods, 

knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:6-7

King James Version

6 And when the woman saw 

that the tree was good for food, 

and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 

and a tree to be desired to make one wise, 

she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, 

and gave also unto her husband with her; 

and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, 

and they knew that they were naked; 

and they sewed fig leaves together, 

and made themselves aprons.

That was the first day of the loss of innocence, and obedience.

Since then, man's true nature has never been sterling.

He has been corrupted, right there in the garden of Eden.

His downfall has always been initial curiosity.

As well as a great desire for absolute knowledge, and power.

Same with a desire for today's face, fame, and fortune.

The only pitfall is where does he get all these?

Who supplies these worldly things?

Matthew 4:8-9

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him 

all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.

Folks, asking a man-made, programmed machine -- subject to manipulation, and algorithms -- is not the same as being taught, and guided by the HOLY SPIRIT Himself.

NOTHING of this world can replace SPIRIT, which JESUS left us, before He went back to the FATHER.

John 14:16 

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

JESUS did not leave us orphaned to face the wolves.

He left us His HOLY SPIRIT, for He knew what we'd be facing.

John 16:7-15 

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world 

is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

Be especially aware of the "antichrist".

1 John 4:3

King James Version

3 And every spirit that confesseth not 

that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: 

and this is that spirit of antichrist, 

whereof ye have heard that it should come; 

and even now already is it in the world.

Of which, there are many now.

1 John 2:18

King James Version

18 Little children, it is the last time: 

and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, 

even now are there many antichrists; 

whereby we know that it is the last time.

One such tool being used by the antichrist is technology.

Where the enemy has given you exciting, and convenient online/digital tools to ask/do most anything.

And to mislead you with most everything.

Please do not flirt with artificial intelligence.

Playing with fire can consume you.

Don't set aside the real JESUS, for the fake Jesus.

Only through the HOLY SPIRIT can you discern the many traps, apps, pitfalls, and temptations this fallen world will offer you.

For you can expect CONSTANT bombardment of such.

Every waking, and sleeping moment, is an opportunity for CHRIST's enemy to destroy your soul.

He waits in constant ambush.

All you need to know, you can learn from the HOLY SPIRIT.

But He can only teach you, if you're of the SAME spirit.

That is, if you're born again.

JESUS was clear about that:

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: so is every one 

that is born of the Spirit.

In these dark, deluded, deceptive days, the LORD JESUS left us with the Most Reliable Guide, and Teacher.

People don't pay attention to Him because they want something "tangible".

Well, SPIRIT isn't.

That's why He's called "SPIRIT".

John 14:17

King James Version

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.

And we are in spiritual warfare.

Ephesians 6:12 

King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

SPIRIT was given, that we may know JESUS.

Again, JESUS said so Himself:

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

The true believer is not curious about the things of this world.

He has already seen through those dark, deceptive, dull mirrors.

Once he is born again, he knows Who to believe in, what to believe in, what to think, say, and do.

The born again turns to Scripture.

SPIRIT leads us to CHRIST.

And CHRIST leads us to GOD.

SPIRIT and Scripture testify of this.

JESUS affirmed that a long time ago:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If you seek GOD, turn to JESUS.

If you seek things of the world, then that's Satan's territory.

Nothing could be simpler.

Never flirt with things you don't understand.

Only the HOLY SPIRIT, in these last days, can guide us.

He makes the Bible clear, simple, and easy to understand.

With CHRIST's enemy, expect chaos, and confusion.

All because of "curiosity".

Let SPIRIT be our Source for PERFECT discernment.

DEALING with RUSSIAN aggression

 

Jeremiah 1:13-14

King James Version

13 And the word of the Lord came unto me 

the second time, saying, 

What seest thou? 

And I said, I see a seething pot; 

and the face thereof is toward the north.

14 Then the Lord said unto me, 

Out of the north an evil shall break forth 

upon all the inhabitants of the land.

How can wars be fought, and won?

Are wars necessary at all?

How can we avoid it?

SPIRIT, through Scripture, taught me what causes wars.

Today, He led me to THREE short videos explaining what's happening to Russia, Ukraine, and western Europe now.

And where America's place is in all these.

From the three short videos, you will recognize these -- 

What American president Donald Trump has been trying to achieve.

Why he met Putin last week.

Why he met with European heads of state yesterday, including NATO's chief.

And the methods Trump has put in place, to achieve his objectives.

Trump's plan has always been peace.

So far, the Nobel Peace Prize has been kept out of his reach.

And I do hope he not care about that.

GOD did choose him to be president at these critical times.

When you serve the LORD, expect no credit.

Expect lots out outrage, especially if your mission is peace.

The defiant Dems have had their chance and they've messed up.

Now, Republicans have to take back their power, and support this peace-loving president.

FIRST video:

It took a military historian, Victor Davis Hanson, to explain the mess Obama and Biden have done regarding Ukraine.

But the Dems and woke left won't give Trump credit for trying to foster peace.

Nope, they won't give him that compliment.

They'd much rather go to war and add to the 1.5 million souls that have already perished, or have been captured, because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

From Obama, to Biden, it's all been a Ukrainian mess.

SECOND video:

It also took an astute Fox News anchorwoman, Dana Perino, to explain the facts regarding president Trump's meeting with European heads of state. 

She also spoke of the pivotal role America's first lady took towards trying to change Putin's mind.

Those two, short videos explain to us what's really happening, and the motives behind all these "power" talks.

THIRD video:

It took a former White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, to explain the meeting the seven European leaders had with president Trump.

At how they sat across his desk, like students facing a principal, for some misdemeanor, or something.

Or at how they asked for his help.

And how they finally see how Trump had been right, all along.

But you know Trump, he's master showman, and negotiator.

He knows how to "set" deals, and talks, for maximum gains.

He knows how to reprimand ungrateful leaders of nations.

We all know he likes to set the tone for negotiations.

So far, it's worked.

Even his previous spat with Ukraine president Zelensky seems forgotten.

At this latest meeting, the latter conceded and wore a black jacket over his usual black gear.

At the previous meeting Trump was not too happy with his casual garb.

Not to mention his "attitude".

Seems Trump was also not happy with my own president's white "barong" (our national costume) when Marcos met with him.

But that's Trump.

He likes a certain protocol, and "look", for when he meets leaders, for the press.

Something about showing respect for the president, the White House, and the American people.

But if that's all he can be faulted with, then it's no big fault at all.

All these meetings with Putin, and the seven European leaders all point towards peace between Ukraine and Russia.

Europe wonders if Russia's taking over Ukraine is just a springboard for Putin taking over the whole of western Europe.

With Putin, a former KGB head, you never know.

And it had to be president Trump to "broker" the peace, and strategy talks.

After all, America has regained her power in world leadership.

Thanks to GOD's GRACE, Trump's tough stance, and decisiveness.

But Victor Davis Hanson noticed something the press had not really focused on.

Perhaps, they keep waiting for Trump to stumble, and had not realized there was a GREAT gem of TRUTH that was given by one, particular European president, whose border was right next to Russia.

President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, explained his own country's  approach to Russian aggression, back in 1939.

He did mention an 800-mile-long boundary Finland shared with Russia, and vice-versa.

Finland knew how to deal with Russia in those terrible days of World War II.

It's worth taking note of Stubb's reminder in the latter part of Hanson's short video.

Something we can all surely learn from.

Especially the proud, and wily presidents of the world.

Last of all, whether you're born again, or not, you need to remember THREE things --

Only GOD can make things possible.

Matthew 19:26

King James Version

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 

With men this is impossible; 

but with God all things are possible.

PEACE can only COME through JESUS.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Romans 5:1

King James Version

5 Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God 

through our Lord Jesus Christ:

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

Only through JESUS can we accomplish anything.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.
